BRITISH historian David Irving was fined 10 000 marks (about R16 200) by a German court yesterday for denying that Jews died in the gas chambers of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Judge Thomas Stelzner rejected Irving’s appeal against a previous R12 000 fine for expressing such views. He said he was increasing the fine because of Irving’s lack of understanding. Sapa-Reuter.
